This week, we discuss the 8-4-10 ruling by federal judge Walker, ruling in favor of Perry vs. The Governtaor over the legality of Prop 8.

POPLICKS PODCAST #7.2

Junichi — Sat, 24 Jul 2010 23:45:05 +0000

This week, Oliver and I discuss the Shirley Sherrod debacle and the bigger picture of the Obama Administration’s handling of race-related issues.Â We also share our thoughts on the new Christopher Nolan film Inception.Â And finally, in our one minute closing random thoughts, Oliver discusses the new bar for Asian American children and I discuss my concerns about the LAPD collecting leftover slices of pizza.

(Eds. note: We apologize for the audio issues.Â Oliver’s audio occasionally sounds distorted (as if Sleigh Bells was handling the audio engineering) and I accidentally put my microphone about five feet from my mouth.)

POPCAST #4.3 w/ guest CHAD HARDY (OF MORMONS EXPOSED) + THE ARIZONA IMMIGRATION LAW

Poplicks — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 00:51:25 +0000

Our special guest this week is Chad Hardy, creator of the Mormons Exposed calendar series, featuring Mormon women and men showcased in their sexy (but still-PG) glory. His calendar got him booted out of the LDS and cost him his degree at BYU but on the flipside, they’re unexpectedly big in the gay community. Junichi and Oliver also talk briefly about Arizona’s atrocious new immigration law.

Poplicks — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 07:35:30 +0000

After taking last week off, we’re back this week, this time with Phil Yu, aka Angry Asian Man where we pepper him with all questions AZN, including his views on the new K-Town off-shoot of Jersey Shore, unforgivable Asian faux pas-es, and how Angry Asian Man may (or may not) conquer the internet.

NO POPCAST THIS WEEK

Oliver’s out of town but we’ll be back next week (possibly with Angry Asian Man, Phil Yu).

PODCAST #3.2 w/ guest ANN POWERS: THE STATE OF POP MUSIC

Poplicks — Thu, 25 Mar 2010 03:34:02 +0000

In our second podcast, we welcome guest Ann Powers, pop music critic for the Los Angeles Times. The three of us debated the present and future of the music industry, whether music downloading is bankrupting musicians, whether getting your songs onto a Twilight soundtrack is selling out, what American Idol mean for pop criticism and what states boast the biggest wangs (and we don’t mean O-Dub).

PODCAST #3.1: OBAMA YEAR 1 + AVATAR

Poplicks — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 05:54:36 +0000

JS and OW debate Year 1 of Obama and the Dems in control (and flailing!) plus the politics of Avatar. (In case you’re wondering, there is no Podcast #1.1 or 2.1, etc. #3.1 = first podcast of March. I guess technically, I should have done 3.1.10 but I’ll save that for 3.2.10).
